Man United handed boost to sign pacey forward

Man United handed boost to sign pacey forward

Real Madrid attacker is reportedly up for sale. The player is said to have been granted permission to leave the club in order to pursue a fresh challenge next summer. It comes after a secret meeting with Real Madrid president Florentino Perez.

The Welsh international is suffering an injury ravaged season at the Bernabeu, making only 8 appearances out of possible 22 so far this season and recently suffered a false dawn when he returned for a recent Copa del Rey tie only to suffer a relapse.

Reports in Spain say the player has a mutual agreement with Perez which would allow him to seal a potential return to the English top flight next summer.

Manchester United and former club Tottenham Hotspurs have been credited with an interest in the winger, with the former having a long standing one. Any potential deal will be very much dependent on transfer value at the time due to the player’s injury record.

Both sides are said to be unwilling to match Real Madrid’s valuation of the player as the European champions are said to be reluctant to sell at a hefty loss having spent ₤85m in acquiring him from Spurs.

There’s a lot of time until the summer, so a lot can still happen concerning this particular transfer. Bale, for now, will be working hard in order to return to first team action and prove himself to be over his injury problems.

Liverpool and Man United fail in attempt to sign £66m-rated star

Liverpool and Manchester United will no longer have the opportunity of landing FC Porto star Eder Militao in this January winter transfer window.

The two Premier League sides have shown keen interest in the star player as they are reported to have beaten the interest from Spanish La Liga outfit Real Madrid.

Eder Militao has shown a lot of qualities and impressed so far this season which is the reason why top clubs are up for him knowing that he has got the ability to play as a right full-back and also a central defender.

However, the Reds were dealt a big blow with the player’s manager making it clear that Eder Militao is not for sale and would not be allowed to leave the club this January.

Meanwhile, the agent gave a hint that the star player could be offered to the Spanish La Liga outfit Real Madrid having learned of the interest for the player as well.

Liverpool will now be left with no other option than to face other options if they must do some business in this winter window but there are hints that the Merseyside club will not be involved in any transfer dealings this January.

Other Premier League sides like Chelsea, Everton, Manchester City and Liverpool are also monitoring his situation at FC Porto.

Eder Militao has a €50m (£45m) release clause in his current contract with the Portuguese champions.

The 21-year-old is a utility defender that can play as a right-back, as a defensive midfielder or as a centre back.

Eder Militao has been impressive for FC Porto in their run to the top of the Portuguese Super League table as well as the Champions League round of 16 where they will face Italian Serie A giants AS Roma.

Liverpool willing to part ways with £50,000-a-week attacker

Liverpool have got a robust team which is the reason why some of its average players have not been seen on the pitch so far this season.

One of the names is Lazar Markovic who is a member of the manager Jurgen Klopp’s team but has not been seen on the pitch as he is obviously not in the plans of the German boss.

Lazar Markovic earns as low as £50,000-a-week at the Merseyside team but he has not contributed as high as that amount to the team on the pitch this season which is the reason why he could be made to leave the team in this winter transfer window.

Reports claim that Lazar Markovic has got until the end of this current campaign to have his contract with the club end but the Reds side are keen to let him leave this January winter window so as to be able to cash in on him.

However, reports claim that some clubs in the Chinese Super League are hoping to convince Lazar Markovic so as to have him switch over before the end of this winter window.

Meanwhile, Liverpool will demand same £20 million that was paid to land Lazar Markovic in 2014.

Chelsea on the verge of sealing deal for Bundesliga winger

English Premier League outfit Chelsea are close to sealing a deal for German Bundesliga outfit Bayern Leverkusen winger Leon Bailey in coming days, according to reports from Germany.

The report claimed that the West London side have already made official contact for the star player while talks are expected to resume so as to have the deal finalized before the end of this January winter transfer window.

According to The Mirror, the Blues have held talks with Leon Bailey and an agreement seem to have been reached but the deal is currently being threatened by the interest from their English Premier League rivals Tottenham and Arsenal.

Leon Bailey’s representative has therefore confirmed that talks have been held between his client and Italian boss Maurizio Sarri who wishes to have his service at the Stamford Bridge.

The speculations of Leon Bailey’s exit from the German Bundesliga outfit came as a result of his lack of playing time at the club. He has only seen 8 games so far this season which is not enough for a growing player.

However, the outcome of the talks between both teams will determine the success of the deal as Leon Bailey will not wish to join the West London side and continue as a bench player.

Despite all of these, the football legend still holds the opinion that Klopp made a wrong decision to have let go of the England international knowing that he has got some injury situations as well as a number of games to play.

He noted that Nathaniel Clyne would have played the right full-back position in the Saturday’s game against Crystal Palace which was mounted by James Milner.

However, Nathaniel Clyne is desperate to secure more playing time which is the reason why he opted to join the Premier League side where he can be able to continue his development and progress.

Meanwhile, Liverpool are seven points clear at the top in the league table.

Mourinho makes big Salah confession

Former Manchester United boss has lamented his inability to have Egyptian international Mohamed Salah established under him when he was in charge at the Stamford Bridge.

The former United boss had signed Mohamed Salah to the Stamford Bridge but was unable to make good use of him before he left to the Italian Serie A outfit AS Roma and now at the Merseyside club Liverpool.

Last season was one of the best of Mohamed Salah’s football career as he helped the Reds team to reach the Champions League finals in addition to finishing second in the Premier League last season with his goals.

This season alone, Mohamed Salah has not changed as he has now scored a total of 17 goals and handed 8 assists in the 30 games under his belt which makes him one of the best the English League can boast of at the moment.

However, the former Chelsea boss confessed that he was unable to get the best from the player as he wished that Mohamed Salah had given this best under him at the Stamford Bridge.

With his feat and impressive performance, Mohamed Salah now has a release clause of about £150 million in his contract with the Reds which is expected to end in 2023.

Joao Felix has got great potential as a player which is the reason why clubs like Manchester City were interested in his signature but lost out along the way.

Manager Jurgen Klopp has one of the best attacks in the Premier League but that will not stop him from having an option in the team as they hope to land their first league title in many years.

For the German boss, he has not won a title in his three years reign at the Anfield and he will be looking forward to breaking that deadlock this season having come close last season with a second place in the Premier league and also a defeat in the Champions League finals.

Liverpool scouts on the way to Italian Serie A for 28-year-old striker

It has been reported that English Premier League outfit Liverpool will have their scout move to the Italian Serie A outfit Lazio to watch Ciro Immobile.

The Reds are believed to be interested in his signature and should there be a positive analysis from the scouts, an attempt would be made to have him join the club before the end of this January winter transfer window.

A number of English Premier League sides have all shown interest in Ciro Immobile who just signed a new deal at Stadio Olimpico in October until 2023. The likes of Manchester United and Tottenham are keen to land him as well.
